Valentine’s Date – a Photo Essay
My husband and I usually do not do anything fancy for Valentine’s Day, maybe some candy and chocolates and a special homemade dinner. But this year when I saw a Living Social Deal for a Wine Tasting for 2, I couldn’t pass it up. We went on Saturday afternoon the day after Valentine’s Day for or Valentine’s Date and since it was downtown we were quite excited about walking around, taking pictures and enjoying our time together. So that is how I decided to share our evening, in pictures. Love you Honey! So thankful for a loving, funny, caring husband. I love you Craig you are my soulmate, a gift…
The Best Marriage Proposal Ever!
The title says it all! This is so fantastically awesome!!
First Time Family Pictures
We finally did it! Thanks to Facebook, I recently saw some gorgeous photos of families I know. I just had to get ours done too. We have never had professional pictures done, now I couldn’t resist. I wanted some nice pics of the whole family. So we did it! I contacted the photographer who took the pictures of the other families, her name is Lisa with LiLo Photography. She set us up to meet at a local Museum that has a working farm, great place to snap pics. Can I just tell you that I LOVE the pictures? I was so nervous because honestly I didn’t know if my boys…
A Prayer for Teachers
Are you on Pinterest? WOW! I have been super inspired since finding it. While cruising through checking out all the great stuff I came across a Class Rules sign on Pinterest. I love the sign, I printed it for our Homeschool Room. I decided to visit the blog that it originated on and I found this wonderful prayer for any teacher. I hope to pray this prayer many every morning. I took the text and redesigned it to be “rainbow-ey”, if you like the prayer, click here to download it. PS- the font I used for Lord and Amen came from another Pinterest post, ultimately from the eighteen25 blog, thanks ladies!
Fun in the Sun
The weather here in Colorado is crazy! One day it is 70 , the next it is snowing and freezing, then back to 70 the next day. Seriously! Last week on one of the so-so days we had some fun outside. Wasn’t too cold, wasn’t too hot. The boys did floor puzzles on the sidewalks, we colored the sidewalks with chalk. We ate lunch on a blanket in the grass, fun! To top it off… the boys went for the costume drawer, which is always a hit. this is a Buzz Lightyear, IronMan Hybrid LOVE this life!!
Super Duper Sweetness
As you may have seen from an earlier post, my son and I went on a date recently. We had a really great time. I wanted to share with you, a sweet, intimate moment between the 2 of us. While at a restaurant I excused myself to use the restroom. When I came around the corner to our booth, my son was sitting in my seat, I watched for a second and realized he was taking pictures of himself with the camera. I sneaked up behind him and joined in the pictures, he never knew I was behind him. When I sat down he told me to look at the…
Brotherly Love
My 7 year old attends a weekly club for boys. He loves it and his Daddy is a helper so it provides a fantastic time for them to bond. Last week each boy was given $2 and challenged to use the money for someone else. To do an unselfish thing with it. When he came we discussed some possibilities that he might choose from. He thought about it and said he thought of another thing. He said that he wanted to buy his little brother a piece of his favorite pie from the Pie Shop across the street from our house. My first thought was that wasn’t the exact idea here, but…
Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards
This year I was invited to a Valentine’s Card making get-together and had so much fun that I had one for the women in my family, that was also a blast. When it came time to think about the kids Valentine’s cards this year, it was a no brainer that they would make homemade ones as well, I had all the supplies ready to go. In previous years, especially since they were in school, it was easy to just go pick up some pre-made ones. Now that we homeschool we do more homemade things then ever, we have the time and resources so why not? The boys made some for…
